Collina's - Carta

Welcomed by friendly staff. Had fresh tuna with vegetable garnish and a bottle of water €29, which in my opinion was overpriced, but I guess the location being near the Cathedral has something to do with it.

Average Italian food in a restaurant that could best be described as ok . The food was very average no complaints but nothing to write home about. However is in a country where the don't have a good food tradition so it's doing ok. Young lady who served me was top of the class . Wine was the best part of the meal meal by the glass with a lots to choose from .

This place is ranked far too low for the quality of food. In general, in the city centre so close to the Cathedral, you'll mainly find tourists trap serving schnitzels and beer. All that's fine if you're in a group and want to do the touristy thing. But if you're looking for a decent meal, with very good quality and great service, look no further.Starters & main dishes to tingle your taste buds, accompanied by good selection of wines. The next day I went back for lunch. Also a good choice. Ver carta

What is it about single women in restaurants that makes the staff want to rush them through their meal as quickly as possible before they are spotted by any other diners? This was the case here. Although the food wasn't bad. A huge green salad arrived as a starter followed by a plate of fairly pedestrian spinach ravioli (the only vegetarian option). The service was hurried (in my case - although, I noticed not to tables with couples/groups) but the wine choice was good and it wasn't too expensive.

After a long day at the Koelnmesse, we needed some good Italian food, and Collina's provided. The food was good - we enjoyed the starter (ham with cream cheese - a German rather than an Italian starter, but it was good). The fish soup was not bad. The Monk fish was tasty, and the entrecote was juicy and nice.The service was okay, not much more than that. The menu was quite limited, but I prefer a restaurant with few dishes done well than many that are not done well.Prices were not cheap, but for a touristic area and a nice restaurant it was understandable.All in all we had a nice time!

This is the third time to Collinas but have to say I was disappointed and likely not to return. The waiter was extremely grumpy to the point of being rude. I had the grilled medallions of veal - over salted and overcooked despite asking to be cooked "medium". My colleagues were asked how they wanted their meat cooked though when served the food was handed out all the same. The same waiter forgot to order his main course which of course arrived 10 mins later after we have almost finished dinner. Nothing was said to apologise for the forgotten food. Too poor for a business dinner. Its a shame as the female manager seems to be very kind and friendly Ver carta

As several others have mentioned on here the level of service was poor to the point of insulting.I visited this restaurant with a customer and two other colleagues of mine.We made a spontaneous visit to this place based on it having a an overall 4* review and although the food was fine it was completely let down by the waiter who served us.We felt rushed into making our food choices and was made to feel uncomfortable by his attitude and lack of care.The waiter ended the service by purposely saying 'merci madame' when we were a group of men... Can't really understand why he was like this when we were nothing but polite.The only reason I haven't given this a 1* (which is what I really wanted t...

The waiter was surly and unsmiling. This is not unusual in Italian restaurants in Germany, but when you feel you're not welcome, the evening's off to a bad start. Perhaps the chap was pining for his homeland.The menu and wine options were chalked on a board. Therefore the diner's choices were limited by the space available to describe them. There didn't seem to be any beers for sale. That was unfortunate, as a beer was what I wanted.I chose a tagliatelle dish, being in the mood for pasta. I know the Italians like their noodles 'al dente', but these were 'al dentissimo', with a chewy texture that I wouldn't expect from a quality restaurant. Very disappointing.I debated whether to have dessert...

We came by Collinas totally by chance, we found ourselves wandering round the old town part of Köln looking for someone nice to eat. My girlfriend looked at the menu outside and decided to go in and see if there was a table in this busy restaurant. We were promptly seated, but then offered a better table when one became available. We were shown some large chalk boards to choose from the menu in English as well as German. I had some lovely soup to start followed by some pappardelle pasta with goose. While we were selected our choices from the menu the owner explained that dishes changed once the fresh ingredients ran out. There was very obviously a lot of effort was put into fresh high qualit...
